Over-the-Shoulder
Shot:
The camera looks over a person’s shoulder
to a view of another person. By showing both people,
the shot establishes where they are in relationship
to each other. You can also look over someone’s
shoulder to establish relationships to other places
or things.

Subjective View:
The camera is involved in the shot. For example,
the talent talks into the camera as if talking
to another person. The object of this shot is
to make the viewer feel that the talent is talking
directly to him or her. The shot creates an intimacy
between the talent and the audience. A news anchor
is shown with a subjective camera angle.

 |
Objective View:
The camera is never addressed directly by the
talent. This shot makes the viewer feel like an
observer. An interview uses an objective camera
angle. The viewer is overhearing a conversation.

 |
Eye-Level View:
Most TV is shot at the eye level of the talent.
This is an important concept in the classroom
since the teacher and student are not necessarily
at the same eye level. The camera should be set
at the eye level of the talent, not at the height
most comfortable for the camera operator. |
| |
|
 |
High-Angle View:
When the camera is placed higher than eye level,
the talent appears small and is perceived to have
less power. |
| |
|
 |
Low-Angle View:
Aiming the camera up towards the talent gives
the viewer the impression that the talent is in
a powerful position. |
| |
|
 |
Oblique Angles:
The camera leans to one side so the viewer sees
the talent at an angle. These shots add a sense
of fun to a production.
